When you were a kid what was some of your favorite stuff you and your friends did?
Did I just put you on “Memory Lane?” 😁
My neighborhood had tons of us that were all in the same age ranges
I think our parents had a planning committee for it as we were able to form entire ball teams
One of my favs from childhood was when we would play “Evel Knievel”
We would build a ramp, then get someones parents metal trash can, put it in front of the ramp, and set a fire inside the can. We would then ride our bikes and jump over the fire, until some parent would catch us and then game over….. lol….
We built ramps to see how high we could jump, how far we could jump, and what we could jump over
We had one kid, lets call him “Bobby” He wasn’t just “fearless” he was ZERO FLIPS given…….. Bobby got a Big Wheel, some how got it up on top of his parents car port roof ( about 7ft high ) then rode it off, and survived. I don’t suggest any of you try that

When we utilize Delta Neutral strategies like Strangles ( our fav here ) Straddles, and a couple others we could then care less which direction the market goes… The ONLY Thing we want is movement, up / down / in either direction.. If we don’t get that movement then the trade may not work
